    About the package

    Inside the Respiratory Viruses & Bacteria

    The Respiratory Viruses & Bacteria panel is our most comprehensive single-swab respiratory screen, combining 18 viruses with 8 of the most important respiratory bacteria — including Streptococcus pneumoniae, Mycoplasma and Chlamydophila pneumoniae, Legionella, Haemophilus influenzae and the Bordetella species behind whooping cough.

    Distinguishing a viral from a bacterial cause is central to deciding whether antibiotics are appropriate. Real-time PCR delivers that answer from one nasal swab, with every organism reported individually and home collection available across Dubai.

    It was a good experience. I got my results within time. Ms. Neesha is very good in taking the samples. She took my samples in one prick as I have very difficult veins. Thank you so much.

    I had my full OGTT done at Intel Lab and had a great experience. The employees were very friendly, welcoming, and accommodating throughout the process. They explained each step clearly, which really helped ease my nerves. They also took my blood sample very carefully, especially since I’m afraid of needles, which I truly appreciated. Everything was handled professionally and smoothly. Highly recommended!
